I may add something more to the map, because my current addition is kinda lame. I kinda figured in a city/town named Venice that someone would go with a gimmick. I was debating a clocktower made in the likeness of the campanile in St. Mark's square since. My thought process was that city wouldn't even fund a mock Basilica because it would just be too damn expensive , even a bastard one (likely). Granted an intentionally crappy one meant to draw in tourists could be amusing. Anyway the next locales I would add would be more "interesting" or at least I'd hope. Also I think I need to make my dude a bit silppery-slopey. edit: He's basically done, but think I'm gonna mess with "what he has done with his powers" a bit. Apparently there is a Gondola Place in the US. |

I liked the addition of a ferry site. I think it's a nifty add-on. Feel free to add more if you'd like, but you're in the clear!
I'm going to update the map a little more (I'll be adding a couple landmarks with leading questions on a First Come First Serve basis, but it'll be good stuff).
Honestly, Erik, I was looking at your Infernal and thinking the same thing. "Where is the slipper-slope, drug-dealer angle this skin is supposed to have!"
BUT, and here's the BUT
I really like this idea of an Infernal who's been chosen by spirits to act out their business. And then you just kind of get perks out of it. It sort of flips the dynamic -- and that is REALLY cool.
You're kind of like a low-cost super-vigilante, like you'd be at home in a gritty graphic novel.
And that is COOL.

ALSO:
Strings. Now is the time. Feel free to kind of maybe discuss them first? OR just assign them and make the other dude suck it the hell up. Both work beautifully.
ALSO: The book says to assign these to PCs first and only pick NPCs if you have leftovers. That's legit. You should do that.
Buuuuut if there's one that just seems like gold (or makes the most sense) to apply to an NPC? Do it.
Silas, Someone reminded you what love was, when you thought that death had stolen it away from you forever. Give them 2 Strings.
Did anyone watch you die, or watch you come back to life? If so, you both gain 2 Strings on each other.
Aiden, You owe debts. Give away 3 Strings, divided any way you like between the dark power and the other characters.
Someone thinks they can save you. Gain a String on them.
Kaitlynn, Name three NPCs who are members of your gang. Gain a String on each.
You find someone threatening. Give them a String on you, and take two Strings on them.
Colleen, You’ve seen someone swimming, but they either didn’t see or didn’t recognize you. Gain a String on them.
Someone stole your pelt, knowing full well what that would do to you. How did you learn that they have it? Give them 2 strings on you.

I mentioned this in my character thread, but I was wondering about the stolen pelt thing - I kind of attributed it to an NPC before realising that it's actually a pretty big thing, and really I should think about giving it to a PC before that.
So: are any of you monsterfarts interesting in being Colleen's pelt-thief

I remember we just assigned them in simon's short lived AW game and I got to be the Skinner's lover. I was loyal, she basically used her sex move on everyone she could. I felt used...and abandoned.
Anyway, I don't think Aidan is the type to steal a pelt.

Silas...may have stolen it, after Colleen reminded him what love is when he saw how her foster parents interacted with her. Just a thought.

 So does anyone in particular want to be that someone who thinks they can save me? (I was kinda thinking it might be interesting to have one of the souls in my inventory that I know or Silas' shadow person. But the latter isn't even really a thinking entity an entity with any agency IIRC? And both are NPCs) So any thoughts? |

Alright then!
Silas is a thief who has taken Colleen's pelt. You gain two strings on her.
Kaitlynn has been perved on by Colleen as she swam. She gains one string on you.

I don't suppose anyone saw me have my unfortunate accident?

It seems entirely possible that Aidan could have seen it. Considering who he communes with and the fact that he lives relatively close to where the "incident" occurred.

Colleen thinks she can save Aidan.
She is the only logical choice.
Figuring out debts . If I owed a debt/favor to one of the members in the Queen's clique would it go upward to the Queen?

So, firstly, I have a present for you guys. Tada!Anyway Debts with members of Kaitlynn's gang would belong to that individual in the gang. They still have independent wills (i believe) at least for now. KAITLYNN:Colleen watched you while you were swimming and you didn't even know. You were probably in the bay, or up at the Secret Teenage Sex Beach. What did she see you doing that could bring things tumbling down in your social life? COLLEEN:What about Aiden seems so self-destructive or damned? Does it have something to do with you seeing him beat up douchebags with baseball bats? Why do you know deep in your little heart that you can save him? What were you doing that Silas got a hold of your pelt? Like, seriously, how'd that dumbness happen? SILAS:I asked Colleen what she was doing that you managed to get her pelt, but I wanna know WHY you took it, you skeevy weirdo. And how did she remind you of what love is? What's the deal? AIDEN:You were in the graveyard with a spirit named Nora when Silas snapped his neck on the cobblestones. What'd you see when he died? Did something leave his body, Mr. I Talk To Dead People? |

The reason I took it is because she reminded me of what love was.
I was somewhere where she was and I saw her interacting with her foster family and I saw the love and affection they were giving her and for a moment it was...heartwarming. But then suddenly I got really cold inside and went click-click-click and suddenly I've got her pelt and I'm hiding around the corner out of sight.
Basically the Shadow made me take it.

She used to carry her pelt with her everywhere. A little while ago there was a show at school, a little performance the drama club put together, short notice, nothing fancy. But Colleen had a little role of her own, and she acted her heart out, wearing her dry skin for all to see and observe. It was wonderful, and her foster family came to see her afterwards, and tell her she did great, how they were proud of her. She let herself be rapt in that moment, long enough that the movement near her bag didn't tweak her attention. Only afterwards did she realise that it was missing.
Ill add something later re: Aidan.
